I'm using the Kanotix 2006-01Rc03. I wanted to change from the default KDE desktop to Gnome.
I installed Gnome and had it running until I logged out and shut down.. When I started again it looked as if I have lost the screen where I could choose session. At the same time, when I log out of KDE I only have the choice to log out of this session, not to shut down or restart. How (and what) do I configure to get Gnome as default?
I also have problems dowloading pictures from my Canon G5 (usb) camera. The camera cold not be initialized.
If anyone could give a newbie some advice I''d be thankful. |

sevo can't help you with your Gnome problem except to say it sounds like a conflict between kdm and gdm but your camera is supported and should work, how are you trying to access the pictures just though a file browser or a photo programme, which desktop was this on Gnome or KDE. I know this is obvious but I assume you did have the camera switched on. |

Well I do not understand why some people change their KDE to GNOME, that is really a bad idea, sorry. KDE is the best desktop, without any questions. I am sure that GNOME is easier for newbies, but if you use GNOME for a long time, your only wish will be to change to KDE. I am experienced in this category, because earlier I was also a GNOME user.
Anyway maybe your KDM, the log in manager of KDE was replaced by GDM. If it the case you should uninstall GDM with APT and reinstall KDM using APT. Then you can confige KDM in KControl und System Administration-> Log in manager.
To add the shutdown and restart buttons to the log out dialog you should go to the Session Manager in KDE Components on KControl and check "Offer shutdown options". |

dpkg-reconfigure gdm/kdm whatever you prefer should be the easier solution.
Your Cam has probably a menu where you can determine, whether it should behave as camera or as storage, storage is the better choice.

To set GDM (Gnome Desktop Manager) as default desktop manager is simple.
1) You need to unfreeze the initscripts in /etc/rc.d
Code:
su
unfreeze-rc.d
2) If you have not yet installed GDM do so now:. Be sure to choose GDM as your login manager.
Code:
su
apt-get update
apt-get install gdm
If you already installed GDM select it as default:
Code:
su
dpkg-reconfigure gdm
Select GDM as your desktop manager then start(restart) GDM.
Code:
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
If you do this from within KDE your desktop will restart hopefully w/ GDM and the choice of selecting your preferred desktop.

I only buy USB devices that are seen as hard drives and can simply be mounted like any other disc drive so I've no real experience with Gphoto. This should at least get you started in the right direction. It seems as though your camera is supported by gphoto.
From supported cameras list @ gphoto.org:
Zitat:
"Canon PowerShot G5 (PTP mode)"
There are other posts in the Kanotix forums about Gphoto and permissions. As an experiement, try to access your camera as root instead of user. If root can access the camera it's just a permissions problem.
Another suggestion would be to use the forum wisely. Post a new topic about your camera w/ a proper subject line like 'Canon powershot G5 & gphoto doesn't work'.
Someone that knows Gphoto might know absolutely nothing about KDE or Gnome and will simply not bother to read this thread. |

I had the login problem when I installed gnome on kanotix the first time. I think it was fix-fonts that fixed it.
(That is, type fix-fonts in a terminal as root). |

Not for you to decide who uses what !!!

You sound like Bill Gates himself |

piper, Bill Gates is all in favor of choice. There'll be at least half a dozen different versions of Windows Vista to choose from.  |

 You are right
From Starter to Ultimate. But as a matter of fact I think all of them will be useless. |

Apologies, it seems I didn't read the original post properly, my login problem was slightly different but fix-fonts did fix it. |
